We have a woman at work that keeps posting shit to facebook, and leaving stuff in her msn message about how the vaccine is a lie, and misc other consipracy theory crap.

Getting a little short tempered about it all.

Maher is not an idiot, he is a showman. You don't get ratings for your show by being neutral.

You also don't use your influence to spread horribly misinformed propaganda that may cause a few extra thousand people to die if you do in fact know better.

Showman or not.

It is possible to be both a showman and an idiot, and Maher is both. His show is just him criticizing people on the right for behaving exactly like he does (except he's on the left). And that's fine, but this flu shot stuff is a whole other level.

Nerhael, I'd want to punch that woman in her stupid brain. I'm glad I don't get Facebook updates like that.

Here's Maher talking to Bill Frist.

Bill Frist is also a grade A idiot, but at least as a doctor he respects basic scientific facts.

Jesus Christ ... if anyone tries to say that vaccines don't work ask them how many smallpox cases there have been since 1980. Ask them how many polio cases there have been in the western world in the past 20 years.

People are dumb.

Pete I would also line up to slap that woman.

People who think vaccines don't work or think that vaccines give kids autism make me almost as mad as people who don't understand evolution.
